HYMNS. 


HYMN  1.  P.    M. 

The  Lord  into  his  garden  comes, 
The  spices  yield  a  rich  perfume. 

The  lilies  grow  and  ihrive  ; 
Refreshing  shovveis  of  gi  ace  divine, 
From  Jestt'3  flows  to  every  vine, 

And  makes  the  dead  revive. 

2.  O  that  this  dry  and  barren  ground, 
fn  springs  of  water  may  al/ound, 

A  fmitful  soil  becom  e 
The  desert  blossoms  as  the  rose, 
When  Jesus  conquers  all  his  foes, 

And  makes  his  people  one. 

3.  The  glorious  time  is  coming  on, 
Tlie  gracious  work  is  now  begun, 

My  soul  a  witness  is; 
I  taste  and  see  the  pardon  free, 
For  all  mankind  as  well  as  me. 

Who  come  to  Christ  may  live. 

4.  The  worst  of  sinners  here  may  find 
A  Saviour  mercitul  and  kind  ; 


4  HYMN    1. 

Who  will  tliem  all  leceive  ; 
None  are  loo  vile  who  will  repent, 
Out  of  one  sinner  legions  weut> 

The  Lord  did  liini  relieve.  [Lord, 

.5     Come,   brethren  dear,  who  '  now  the 
And  taste  the  sweetness  ofhis  word, 

In  Jesus'  ways  go  on  ; 
Our  troubles  and  our  trials  here, 
Will  only  nial^e  us  rifl.er  i/iere, 

When  we  arrive  at  home. 

6.  We  feel  ihai  heaveti  is  now  begun, 
It  issues  from  ihe  sparkling  throne, 

From  Jesus'  throne  on  high  ; 
It  comes  in  floods  we  can't  contain, 
We  drink,  and  drink,  and  drmk  again, 

And  yet  we  still  aro  dry. 

7.  But  when  we  come  to  dwell  above, 
And  all  surround  the  throne  of  love. 

We'll  drink  a  full  supply  ; 
Jesus  will  lead  his  armies  through, 
To'living  fountains  where  they  flow, 

That  never  will  run  dry.  [sing, 

8.  'TiS  there  we'll  reign,  and  shout  and 
And  make  the  upper  reg  ons  ring 

When    all  the  saints  get  home^- 
Come  on,  come  on,  my  bretnren  dear. 
Soon  we  shall  meet  logeliier  there, 

For  Jesus  bids  us  come. 

9.  Amen,  Amen,  my  ioiil  repliea, 
I'm  bound  to  meet  you  in  the  skies, 


HYMN  2.  5 

And  claim  mv  mansion  t'l^rn  ; 
Now  here  s  my  heart  and  here's  my  hand, 
To  meet  you  in  that  heavenly  land, 

Where  wo  shall  part  no  mure. 

HYMN  2.    P.  M. 
Awal^'d  by  Sinai's  awful  sound, 
My  soul  in  guilt  and  thrall  I  found, 

1  knew  not  what  to  do  ;  \^]r\\t\, 

O'erwhelnvd  with  guilt,  with  anguish 
The  sinner  must  be  born  again, 

Or  sink  in  endless  wo. 

2.  Amaz'd  I  stood,  but  could  not  tell 
Which  way  to  shun  the  gattis  of  nell. 

For  death  and  hell  drew  near  ; 
I  strove  indeed,  but  strov  •  in  vain  ; 
The  sinner  must  be  born  again. 

Still  sounded  in  my  ear. 

3.  Then  to  the  law  I  trembling  fled, 
Itpour'd  its  curses  on  my  head, 

I  no  relief  could  find  ; 
This  fearful  truth  1  found  remain, 
The  smner  must  be  born  again, 

O'ervvhelm'd  my  troubled  mind. 

4.  Again  did  Sinai  s  thunder  loll, 
^nd  guilt  lay  iieavy  on  my  soul, 

A  vast  unwieldy  load  , 
Alas  !  I  read  and  found  it  plain, 
The  sinner  must  be  born  again, 

Or  drink  the  wrath  of  God. 

5.  The  saints  I  heard  with  rapture  tell 


6  HYM>  3. 

How  Jesus  cor.quer'd  de.iih  and  hell. 

And  broke  the  fowler  s  sn.ire  : 
But  when  I  foiind    his  inith  remain^

The  anccfs  fun'd  their  harps  finew,

S  HYMN   5. 

For  his  grace  and  power  are  such, 
None  can  ever  ask  too  much. 

3.  With  my  burden  I  begin. 
Lord  !  remove  lliis  load  ot  ^in  I 
Let  thy  blood  for  sinners  s)  i't, 
Set  my  conscience  free  from  guilt, 

4.  ■  Lord  !  I  come  to  thee  for  rest^ 
Take  possession  of  my  breast  ; 
There  thy  blood-bought  right  maintain, 
And  without  a  rival  reign. 

5.  As  the  image  in  the  glass 
Answers  the  beholder's  face, 
Thus  unto  mine  heart  appear. 
Print  tlune  own  resemblance  there, 

6.  While  I  am  a  pilgrim  here,

HYMN  5.    C.  M. 

Arise  and  shine,  O  Zion  fair, 

Behold  thy  light  is  come  • 
Thy  glorious  conqu'ring  king  is  near^ 

To  take  his  exiles  home- 
The  trumpet's  thund'ring  thro'  the  sky. 

To  set  poor  sinners  free ; 


HYMN    5.  S 

The  day  of  wonders  now  is  nigh, 
The  year  of  jubilee. 

2.  Ye  heralds  blow  your  trumpets  loud, 
Throughout  the  earth  and  sky  ; 

Go  spread  the  news  from  pole  to  pole^ 
Behold  the  judgment's  nigh  ; 

Blow  out  the  sun,  turn  up  the  earth, 
Consume  the  rolling  flood, 

While  every  star  shall  disappear, 
The  moon  turn  into  blood. 

3.  Arise  ye  nations  under  ground, 
Before  the  judge  appear  ;  ^ 

All  tongues,  all  languages  shalj  come  ; 

Their  final  doom  to  hear: 
King  Jesus  on  his  azure  throne, 

Ten  thousand  angels  round  ; 
While  Gabriel  with  his  silver  trump, 

Echoes  the  dreadful  sound. 

4.  The  glorious  news  of  gospel  grace 
With  sinners  now  is  o'er, 

The  trump  in  Zion  now  is  still. 

And  to  be  blown  no  more  ; 
The  watchmen  all  have  left  their  walls. 

And  with  their  flocks  above, 
On  Canaan's  happy  shore  they  sing. 

And  shout  reaeeining  love. 

5.  Come,  all  ye  pilgrims  of  the  Lord, 
Whose  hearts  are  joined  in  one  ; 

Hold  up  your  hands  with  courage  bold- 
YoUr  race  ie  almost  run. 


10  HYMN    5. 

Above  the  clouds  behold  him  stand. 

And  smiling  bid  you  come, 
While  angels  beckon  you  away. 

To  your  eternal  home. 

6.  To  see  a  pilgrim  as  he  dies, 
With  glory  in  his  view, 

To  heaven  he  lifts  liis  longing  eyes, 

And  bids  the  world  adieu, 
Wl)ile  friends  stand  weeping  all  around. 

And  loath  to  let  him  go  ; 
He  shouts  with  his  expiring  breath, 

i\n.d  leaves  them  all  below. 

7.  Oh  Christians  are  you  ready  now 
To  cross  the  narrow  flood  ? 

On  Canaan  s  happy  shore  behold 

And  see  a  smiling  God  ! 
The  dazzling  charms  of  that  bright  world. 

Attract  my  soul  ai)ove  ; 
My  tongue  shall  shout  redeeming  grace, 

When  perfected  in  love. 

8.  Go  on,  my  brethren,  in  the  Lord, 
Tn\  ijouad  to  meet  you  there,     [ground. 

Though  you've  to  travel  the  enchanted 

Hold  out,  and  do  not  fear. 
Fight  on,  fight  on,  ye  confiu  'rng  souls, 

The  land  keep  still  in  vicwi 
And  Wiien  you  reach,  fair  C.iaaan's  shore, 

J  liope  to  meet  with  you. 


HYMN   6.  11 

HYMN  6.     C.  M. 

What  pocr  despised  company 

Oftrri-vellera  are  these, 
That  walk  in  yonder  narro\f *way, 

Along  that  rugged  maze  ? 

,2.     Ah,  these  are  of  a  royal  line, 

All  children  of  a  King, 
Heirs  of  immortal  crowns  divine, 
And  lo!  for  joy  they  sing. 

3.     Why  do  they  then  appear  so  mean, 

•And  why  so  much  despis'd? 
Because  of  their  rich  robes  unseen, 

Tiie  world  is  not  appris'd, 

4    But  some  of  thjm  yeem  poor,  distress'd, 

And  lacking  daily  bread  ; 
Ah,  they're  ot  boundless  wealth  possessed, 

With  bidden  maana  fed. 
f*.     BTit  why  keep  they  that  narrow  road, , 

That  rugged,  thorny  maze  .' 
Why,  that's  the  way  their  Leader  trod, 

They  love  and  keep  his  ways. 
()'.     Why  do  they  shun  the  pleasing  path, 

That  worldlings  love  so  well  ? 
Hi; cause  that  is  the  road  to  death, 

The  open  road  to  hell. 

7.     What !  is  there  then  no  other  road 

To  Salem's  happy  ground  .'' 
Christ ^is  the  only  way  to  God, 

No  other  can  be  found. 


12  HYMM7,  8. 

HYMN  7.     L.   M. 

What  various  hindrances  we  meet, 

In  coming^to  the  mercy  seat, 
Yet  who  that' knows  the  worth   of  pray'r, 
But  wishes  to  be  often  there.  [draw, 

2.  Pray'r  makes  the  darkest  clouds  with, 
Prayer  chmbs  the  ladder  Jacob  saw, 
Gives  exercise  to  faith  and  love, 

Brings  ev'ry  blessing  from  above. 

3.  Restraining  prayer,  we  cease  to  fight, 
Pray'r  makes  the  christian's  armour  bright, 
And  Satan  trembles  when  he  sees 

The  weakest  saint  upon  his  knees. 

4     When  Moses  stood  with  arms  spread 
Success  was  found  on  Israel's  side  ;  [wide: 
But  when  through  weariness  they  fail'd. 
That  moment  Amalek  prevail'd. 

5.  Have  you  no  words  ?  Ah,  think  again, 
Words  flow  apace  when  you  complain. 
And  fill  your  fellow  creature's  ear 
With  the  sad  tale  of  all  your  care. 

6.  Were  half  the  time  that's  vainly  spent, 
To  heaven  in  supplication  sent. 

Our  cheerful  songs  would  oft'ner  be, 
"^Plear  what  the  Lord  has  done  for  me." 

HYMN  8.    C.  M. 
Jerusalem,  my  ^appy  home, 
O  how  I  long  for  thee  ! 


HYMN  8.  13 

When  will  njy  sorrows  have  an  end  ? 
Thy  joys  when  shall  I  see  ? 

2.  Thy  walls  are  all  of  precious  stone, 
Most  glonous  to  behold, 

Thy  gates  are  richly  set  with  pearl, 
Thy  streets  are  pav'd  with  gold. 

3.  Thy  garden  and  thy  pleasant  walks 
My  study  long  have  been, 

Such  dazzling  views  of  human  sight,     j. 
Have  never  yet  been  seen. 

4.  If  heaven  be  thus  so  glorious,  Lord, 
Why  should   I  stay  from  thence  ? 

What  folly's  this  that  I  should  dread 
To  die  and  go  from  hence.  [grace, 

5.  Reach  down,  O  Lord,  thine  arm  of 
And  cause  me  to  ascend 

Where  congregations  ne'er  break  up. 
And  Sabbaths  never  end. 

6.  Jesus,  my  Lord,  to  glory's  gone, 
Him  will  1  go  Ewid  see. 

And  all  my  brethren  here  below. 
Will  soon  come  after  me. 

7.  My  friends  1  bid  you  all  adieu, 
1  leave  you  in  God's  care. 

And  if  I  never  more  see  you. 

Go  on,  I'll  meet  you  there.  [years, 

8.  When  we've  been  there  ten   thousand 
Bright  shining  as  the  sun. 

We've  no  less  days  to  sing  God's  praise. 
Then  when  we  first  begun. 


14  HYMN  9,  10. 

HYMN  9.  P.  n. 
As  near  to  Calvary  I  pass, 
Melhinks  I  see  a  bloody  cross, 

Where  a  poor  victim  hangs, 
His  flesh  with  rugged  irons  tore, 
His  limbs  all  dress'd  in  purple  gore, 

Gasping  in  dying  pangs. 

2.  Surpris'd  the  spectacle  to  see, 
kask'd,  who  can  this  victim  be, 

In  sucli  exquisite  pain  ? 
Why  thus  consigned  to  woes,  I  cried, 
•''Tis  I,"  the  bleeding  God  replied, 

"To  save  a  world  from  sin." 

3.  A  God  for  rebel  mortal  dies  ; 
How  can  it  be  ?  my  soul  replies, 

What  !  Jesus  die  for  me  .'' 
<'Yes,"  saith  the  suffering  son  of  God, 
"i  ,<5ive  my  life,  I  spill  my  blood, 

for  thee,  poor  soul,  for  thee." 

4.  Lord,  since  thy  life  thou'st  freely  giv'n 
To  bring  my  v/i etched  soul  to  heav'n, 

And  bless  me  with  thy  love, 
Then  at  thy  feet,  O  God,  I'll  fall, 
Give  thee  my  life,  my  soul,  my  all, 

To  reign  with  thee  above. 

HYMN  10.    P.  M. 

This  world  is  all  a  fleeting  show. 

For  man's  illusion  given  ; 
The  smiles  of  joy,  the  tears  of  wo, 


HYMN    11.  15 

Deceitful  shine,  deceitful  flow — 
There's  nothing  true  bat  heaven. 

2.  Poor  wanderers  of  a  stormy  day 
From  wave  to  wave  are  driven. 

And  fiucy's  flash  and  reason's  ray, 
Serve  but  to  light  us  on  the  way-- 
There's  nothing  calm  but  hearven. 

3,  And  false  the  light  on  glory's   plume, 
As  fading  hues  at  even, 

And  genius'  bud,  and  beaiity's  bloom, 
Are  blossoms  gather'd  for  the  tomb — • 

There's  nothing  bright  but  heaven. 
4.-  And  where's  the  baud  held  out  to  cheer 
The  heart  witli  anguish  riven  ? 
For  sorow's  sigh  and  houble"s  tear 
Have  never  found  a  refuge  here— 

There's  nothing  kind  butheaveu. 

5.     In  vain  do  mortals  sigh  for  blis.-», 

Without  their  sins  forgiven  ; 
True  pleasure,  everlasting  peace, 
Are  only  found  in  God's  free  grace. — 

There's  nothing  good  but  heaven. 
C.     From  such  as  walk  in  wisdom's  road, 

Corroding  fears  are  driven  ; 
They'er  wash'd  in  Christ's  atoning   blood. 
Enjoy  communion  with  their  God, 

And  find  their  way  to  heaven. 

HYMN  11.    P.  M. 

There  is  an  hour  of  peaceful  rest 
To  ihournful  wanderers  ffiven. 


16  HYMN    11. 

There  is  a  tear  for  souls  distrest, 
A  balm  for  every  wounded  breast; 
'Tis  found  above  in  heaven. 

2.  There  is  a  soft,  a  downy  bed 
'Tis  fair  as  breath  of  even, 

A  couch  for  weaiy  mortals  spread, 
Where  they  may  rest  their  aching  head, 
And  find  repose  in  heaven. 

3.  There  is  a  home  for  weeping  souls 
By  sin  ai  d  sorrow  driven, 

When  toss'd  on  life's  tempestuous  shoalsj 
Where  storms  arise    and  oceans  roll, 
And  all  is  drear  but  heaven. 

4.  There  faith  lifts  tip  a  tearful  eye, 
The  heart  with  anguish  riven, 

And  views  the  tempest  passing  by, 
The  evening  shadows  quickly  fly, 
And  all  serene  in  heaven. 

5.  There  fragrant  flowers- immortal  bloom^ 
And  joys  supreme  are  given; 

There  rays  divine  disperse  the  gloom, 
Beyond  the  confines  of  the  tomb 
Appears  the  dawn  of  lieaven. 

6.  Where  all  the  saints  immortal  sing. 
And  crowns  of  joy  are  given. 

While  all  the  harpers  cheei:ful  bring 
Their  noblest  songs  to  Christ  their  King, 
When  swallow 'd  up  in  heaveu^ 


HYMN  12,  13.  17

May  we  all  go  home  a  praying, 
And  rejoicing  in  thy  love  ;

Till  we  all  shall  meet  again. 

HYMiN  13.    P.  M. 
Dark  and  thorny  is  the  desert  [way 

Through  which  pilgrims  make  their 
Yet  beyond  this  vale  of  sorrow 

Lie  the  fields  of  endless  day  ; 
Fiends  loud  howling  through  the  desert, 

Make  theai  tremble  as  they  go, 
And  the  fiery  darts  of  Satan 

Often  bring  their  courage  low. 
2.  O  young  soldiers,  are  you  weary 
Of  the  roughness  of  the  way  ? 


IS  HYMN    13. 

Does  your  strength  begin  to"  fail  \'ou, 
And  your  vigor  to  decay  ?  , 

Jesus,  Jesus  will  go  with  you, 
He  will  lead  you  to  his 'throne  ; 

He  who  dyed  his  garments  for  you,  -, 
And  the  wine  press  trod  alone. 

3.  ^He  whose  thunder  shakes  creation, 
He  who  bids  the  planets  roll  ; 

He  who  rides  upon  the  tempest, 
And  whose  sceptre  sways  the  whole 

Ronnd  him  are  ten  thousand  angels, 
Ready  to  obey  command, 

They  are  always  hovering  round  you, 
Till  you  reach  the  heavenly  land. 

4.  There  on  flow'ry  hills  of  pleasure, 
Lie  the  fields  of  endless  rest ; 

Love  and  joy  and  peace  forever, 

Reign  and  triumph  in  your  breast. 
Who  can  paint  the  scenes  of  glory 

Where  the  ransomed  dwell  on  high  ? 
There  on  golden  harps,  forever 

Sound  redeemption  through  the  sky 

5.  There's  a  million  flaming  seraphs 
Who  fly  across  the  heav'nly  plain, 

There  they  sing  immortal  praises, 

Glory,  glory  is  their  strain. 
But  methinks  a  sweeter  concert 

Makes  the  heavenly  arches  ring, 
And  the  song  is  heard  in  Zion,    . 

Which  the  angels  cannot  sing. 


HYMN    11.  19 

6»  O  llielf  crowns!  hov/  bright  they  sparkle, 

Such  asmonarchs  never  wore. 
They  are  gone  to  richer  pastures, 

Jesus  is  their  shepherd  tliere. 
Hail !  ye  happy,  happy  spirits, 

Death  no  more  shall  make  you  fear, 
Grief  nor  sorrow,  pain  nor  anguish, 

Shall  no  inore  distress  you  there > 

HYMN  14.  L.  M. 

Sweet  is  tlie  mem'ry  of  the  dead, 

While  sleeping  on  his  dusty  hed, 
His  l)ody  sleeps  in  silence,  where 
No  glimni'ring  sun  can  enter  there. 

2.  O  ye,  who  heard  his  voice  below. 
And  woiidei'd  why  he  labor'd  so, 
Why  he  should  preach  till  he  was  spent. 
And  then  give  up  without  consent. 

3.  Daughters  of  Zion,  now  draw  near. 
And  hear  his  dying  speech  with  fear — 
"Have  1  (lone  all  ?  have  I  got  through, 
And  iiuish'd  what  I  had  to  do  ? 

4.  Another  life  could  I  live  o'er, 

And  range  the  world  from  shore  to  shore, 
I'd  wear  this  mortal  body  down, 
To  gain  a  never  fading  crown.' 

5.  I  saw  this  faithful  herald  fallj 
1  saw  him  burst  the  prison  wall. 

And  trac'd  him  when  he  took  his 'flight, 
To  dwell  among  the  saints  in  light. 

6.  I  saw  him  round  the  city  wall ; 


20  HYMN  15. 

I  heard  the  mighty  angel  call, 

"Come  in,"  cried  he, ''  the  war  is  o'er," 
And  then  I  saw  his  face  no  more. 

HYMN  15.  P.M. 

Come  and  taste  along  with  me 
The  weary  pilgrim's  consolation  ; 

Boundless  mercy  running  free, 

The  earnest  of  complete  salvation., 

Joy  and  peace  in  Christ  I  find, 

My  heart  to  him  is  all  resign'd, 

The  fullness  of  his  power  I  prove, 

And  all  my  soul's  dissolved  in  love, 

Jesus  is  the  pilgrim's  portion, 

Love  is  boundless  as  the  ocean. 

2.  When  the  world  and  flesh  would  rise, 
And  strive  to  draw  me  from  my  Saviour, 

Strangers  slight,  or  foes  despise, 

I  then  more  highly  prize  his  favor. 
Friends,  believe  me,  when  I  tell, 
If  Christ  is  present,  all  is  well. 
The  world  and  flesh  in  vain  would  rise, 
I  all  their  efforts  do  despise  ; 
In  the  world  I've  tribulation. 
But  in  Christ  sweet  consolation. 

3.  When  I'm  in  the  house  of  prayer, 
I  find  him  in  the  congregation  ; 

Music  sweet  unto  my  ear 

Is  the  sound  of  free  salvation. 
My  heart  exults,  my  spirits  flow, 
I  love  my  God  and  brethren  so  ; 


<HYMN  15.  ^1

And  disregard  the  gazing  crowd, 

•Glorious  tiieme  of  exultation, 
Jesus  Christ  ie  my  salvation  ! 

4.     Worldlings  hold  me  in  disdain, 

Because  I  slight  their  carnal  pleasure-; 

All  in  this  that  gives  me  pain. 
Is,  they  slight  a  noble  treasure. 

But  among  them,  bless  the  Lord, 

The;?e'6  some  that  trembk  at  his  word, 

And  thie  doth  joy  to  me  impart, 

To  think  the  Lord  has  reach'd  their  heart,

-l*eace  on  earth  and  crowns  in  heaveri. 
•5.     Why  shoiild  ,{  regard  the  frowns  [me  ? 
Of  those  who  mock,  deride  and  slight

Beyond  the  reach  of  those  who  hate  me.

That  awful' day  is  hastening  on,

Death,  in  its  embraces  cold, 
Will  soon  your  mortal  bodies  hold, 
Your  pleasures  then  will  take  their  fliglit, 
And  down  you'll  sink  to  endless  night- 
While  you're  of  that  guilty  number. 
Your  damnation  doth  not  slumber. 

9.  Come,  poor  sinners,  go  with  me,

Help  compose  his  army  now, 
And  he's  plac'd  his  servants  rounds 

Some  in  every  nation  ;

Sometimes  tailed  Michael, 

With  a  band  of  humble  saints,

And  the  only  weapon  used, 
Is  the  spirit's  word  of  truth  ; 
And  with  this  they  cut  and  sing

From  which  their  salvation 

The  gentiles  shall  know, 
And  bask  in  the  smiles  of  his  face. 

9.  Love  sits  in  his  eyelids, 
And  scatters  delight 

Thro'  all  the  bright  mansions  on  high  ; 
Their  faces  the  cherubim 

Veil  in  his  sight, 
And  tremble  with  fullness  of  joy. 
10    He  looks  and  ten  thousand 

Ofangels  rejoice, 
And  myriads  wait  for  his  word  ; 

He  speaks  and  eternity, 

Fill'd  with  his  voice, 
Re-echoes  the  praise  of  her  Lord, 

HYMN  49.   P.  M. 
Let  thy  kingdom,  blessed  Saviour,

They're  one  in  Christ  Jesus,  wherever  they  b.;. 
The  Jew  and  the  Gentile,  the  bond  and  the  free. 

3.  Then  blow  ye  the  trumpet  in  pure  testimony, 
And  let  the  world  hear  it  again; 

Then  come  ye  from  Babylon,  Egypt  and  Sodom, 

And  make  your  way  over  the  plain. 
Then  wash  all  your  robes  in  the  blood  of  the  Lamb, 
And  walk  in  t  be  spirit  through  Jesus's  name, 
In  pure  testimony  you  will  overcome.

And  fear  not  his  servants,  whatever  they  say. 
The  pure  testimony  will  give  you  the  day.

HYMN  57.    P.  M. 

Through  tribulations  deep, 

The  way  to  glory  is  ; 
This  stormy  course  I  keep. 

On  these  tempestuous  seas, 
By  waves  and  wind  I'm  toss'd  and  driv'n. 
Freighted  with  grace, &  bound  for  heaven, 
2.     Sometimes  temptations  blow 

A  dreadful  hurricane, 


84  HYMN  57. 

And  high  the'waters  flow, 

And  o'er  my  sides  break  in, 
But  still  my  little  ship  outbraves 
The  blustVing  winds  and  surging  ^waves. 

3.  When  I  in  my  ('/istress, 
My  anchor,  hope,  can  cast 

Within  the  promises, 

It  holds  my  vessel  fast  ; 
Safely  she  then  at  anchor  rides, 
Midst  stormy  winds  and  swelling  tides. 

4.  Ifa  dead  calm  ensues, 
And  heaven  no  breezes  give, 

The  oar  of  prayer  I  use, 

I  tug  and  toil  and  strive. 
Thro'  storms  and  calm  for  many  a  day, 
I  make  but  very  little  way. 

5.  But  when  a  heavenly  breeze 
Springs  np  and  fills  my  sail, 

My  vessel  goes  with  ease 

before  the  pleasant  gale  ; 
And  runs  as  much  an  hour,  or  more, 
As  in  a  u;onlh  or  two  before. 

6.  Hid  by  the  clouds  from  sight 
The  sun  doih  not   appear, 

Nor  can  I  in  the  night 

Behold  the  moon  or  star  ; 
Sometimes  for  days  and  weeks,  or  more 
I  cannot  see  the  sky  or  shore. 

7.  As  at  the  time  of  noon. 
My  quadrant,  faith,  I  take,

*ro  vie\v  my  Christ,  my  sun, 

If  he  the  clouds  should  biPtik  : 
I'm  happy  when  his  face  I  soe, 
I  know  then  whereabouts  1  be. 

8.  The  bible  is  my  chart. 
By  It  the  seas  I  know, 

I  cannot  with  it  part 
It  rocks  and  sands  doth  siiow;  ^ 
It  is  a  churjt  and  compass  too, 
Whose  needle  pomts  forever  true. 

9,  I  keep  aloof  from  pri(Je. 
These  rocks  I  pass  with  care 

I  studiously  avoid 

The  whirlpool  of  despair,* 
Presu  i.pfion  s  quicksands  loo  I  shun, 
Near  them  I  do  not  choose  to  run. 
10     When  through  a  strait  i  20, 
'     Or  near  some  coast  am  drove, 
The  pliimet  forth  I  throw, 

And  thus  my  safety  [)rove  ; 
Mv  conscience  is  the  line  wliicli  I 
Fathom  the  depth  of  water  by. 

11.  My  vessel  would  be    lost, 
In  spite  of  all  my  care, 

But  that  the  Holy  Ghost 
Himself  vouchsafes  to  steer  : 
As  I  through  all  my  voyages  will 
Depend  upon  my  sleerman's  skill. 

12.  Ere  I  can  reach  heavenVs  coast, 
I  must  a  fculph  pass  through.

When  you  do  reach  the  gates  of  hell  ! 

4.  The  vale  of  tears  surrounds  nie, 
And  Jordan's  current  rolls  before  1 

lO  how  I  stand  and  tremble 

To  hear  the  dismal  waters  roar  / 
Who.«;e  hand  shall  then  support  me. 

And  keep  my  sotil  from  sinking  there  ? 
FrtMn  sinking  down   to  drirknesf5, 
And  to  the  regions  of  despair. 

5.  The  waves  shall  not  affright  me, 
Although  they're  deeper  than  the  grave, 

If  Jesus  will  stand  behind  me

Souices  of  real  pleasure. 

2.     Poor  are  the  joys  that  fools  esteem.

Wounding  the  body  and  tlie  mind  j 
Only  in  Jesus  can  we  find 
Pleasure  and  solid  glory- 

4.  Learning,  that  boasting,  glittering  thing 

Scarcely  is  worth  possessing  : 
Riches,  forever  on  the  wing, 

Scarce  can  be  call'd  a  blessing  ; 
Fame,  like  a  shadow  flies  away, 
Titles  and  dignities  decay, 
Nought  but  religion  can  display 

Joys  that  are  freed  from  trouble. 

4.     Beauty,  with  all  its  gaudy  show, 

Is  but  a  painted  bubble  ; 
Short  are  the  triumphs  wit  bestows, 

Full  of  deceit  and  trouble; 
Sensujft  pj.easures  swell  desire, 
Just  as  the  fuel  feeds  the  fire  ; 
Religion  can  real  bliss  inspire. 

Bliss  that  is  worth  possessing. 

HYMN  00.    L.  M.

2.     I've  sought  for  bliss  in  glittering  toys,' 
And  rang'd  ibe  luring  scenes  of  vice, 
But  never  knew  substantial  joys. 
Until  I  heard  iny  Savi.  ur's  voice.

And  thus  I  found  the  heavenly  way. 

4.  And  now  with  trembling  sense  I  view 
'J'he  billows  roll  beneath  your  feet ; 

For  death  eternal  waits  Cor  you, 
Who  slight  the  force  of  gospel  truth. 

5.  Youth  like  the  spring  will  soon  be  gone 
By  fleeting  time  or  conquering  death  ; 
Your  morning  sun  may  set  at  noon, 
And  leave  you  ever  in  the  dark. 

6.  Your  sparkling  eyes  and  blooming 

cheeks 
Must  wither  like  the  blasted  rose  ; 
The  coffin,  earth,  and  winding  sheet, 
Will  soon  your  active  limbs  enclose. 

7.  Ve  heedless  ones  who  wildly  stroll, 
The  grave  will  soon  become  your  bed, 
Where  silence  reigns,  and  vapors  roll 
In  solmemn  darkness  round  your  hetd. 

8.  Your  friends  will  pass  the  lonesome 

place. 
And  with  a  sigh  move  slow  along. 
Still  gazingon  the  spires  of  grass. 
With  which  your  graves  are  overgrown. 

9.  Your  souls  will  land  in  dark*  r  realms. 
Where  vengeance  roigns  and  bil  ows  roar, 
And  roll  amid  the  burning  flamf  s, 
When  thousand,  thousand  years  are  o'er.

Of  all  who  do  free  grace  refuse  : 

And  soon  with  you  'twill  be  too  late,

How  sweet  the  name  of  Jesus  sounds 

In  a  believer's  ear  ; 
It  smooths  his  sorrows,  heals  his  wounds, 

And  drives  away  his  fear. 

It  makes  the  wounded  spirit  whole, 
And  calms  the  tr(^ubled  breast  ; 
Tis  manna  to  the  hungry  soul, 

And  to  the  weary,  rest.

Ati(i  cold  my  warmest  thought; 

But  when  I  see  thee  as  thou  art,

The  love  of  Jesus  ever  mine  : 
Greater  joys  I'm  born  to  know, 
From  terrestrial  to  celestial.

Upon  their  golden  wings  shall  I 
Be  wafled  far  above  the  sky  ; 
There  behold  him  free  from  harm  j . 
Beauties  vernal,  spring  eternal, 
In  my  lovely  Jesus'  arms.

Till  the  saint's  number  is  complete, 
Till  the  last  trump  of  God  shall  sound. 
Break  up   the   graves,  and  tear   the 

ground, 
There  descending  with  the  Lamb, 
Every  spirit  shall  inherit 
Bodies  of  eternal  frame. 

4.  O  tiresome  world,  when  will  it  end, 
When  shall  I  see  my  heavenly  Friend ; 
When  will  my  lovely  Jesus  come, 
And  take  his  weary  pilgrims  home  ! 
When  shall  I  meet  him  in  the  sky. 
There  adore  him,  fall  before  him, 
And  holy,  holy,  holy  cry.

Forever  free  from  sadness. 

To  sing  and  shout  forevermore, 
Where  all  is  joy  and  gladness. 

On  that  eternal  happy  shore. 

HYMN  77.  P.  M. 
Now  begins  the  heavenly  theme, 
Sing  aloud  in  Jesus'  name  ; 
Ye  who  Jesus'  goodness  prove, 
Triumph  in  redeeming  love. 

2.  Ye  who  see  the  Father's  grace, 
Beaming  in  the  Saviour's  face, 
While  to  Canaan  on  ye  move, 
Bless  and  praise  redeeming  love. 

3.  Mo>urning  souls  dry  up  your  tears, 
Banish  all  your  guilty  fears, 

See  your  guilt  and  curse  remov'd, 
Cancel'd  by  redeeming  love. 

4.  You,  alas  !  who  long  have  been    i 


HYMN  78.  .       109 

Willing  slaves  to  death  and  sin, 
Now  from  bliss  no  longer  rove, 
Stop  and  taste  redeeming  love. 

5.  Welcome  all  by  sinoppress'd, 
Welcome  to  a  s acrid  rest;  . 
Nothing  brought  him  from  above, 
Nothing  but  redeeming  love, 

6.  He  subdu'd  th'  infernal  pow'rs. 
His  tremendous  foe  and  ours. 

To  their  cursed  empire  drove. 
Mighty  in  redeeming  love. 

7.  Hither  then  yoiir  music  bring, 
Strike  aloud  each  joyful  string  -, 
Mortals  join  the  hosts  above  ; 
Join  to  praise  redeeming  love. 

HYMN  78.   P.  M. 
Jesus  at  thy  command, 

I  launch  into  the  deep, 
And  leave  my  n<itive  land, 

Where  sin  lulls  all  asleep  ; 
For  thee  I  would  the  world  resign, 
And  sail  to  heaven  with  thee  and  thine, 
2.     Thou  art  my  pilot,  wise. 

My  compass  is  thy  word  ; 
IMy  soul  each  storm  defies, 

While  I  have  such  a  Lord  ; 
I'll  trust  tiiy  faithfulness  and  powei/1 
"J  0  save  me  in  the  trying  hour.

I 

3.  The  rocks  and  quicksands  deep, 
'  Through  all  my  passage  lie  ; 

Yet  Christ  will  safely  keep, 

And  guard  me  with  his  eye  ; 
My  anchor,  hope.  Will  firm  abide,* 
And  ev'ry  boisterous  storm  outride. 

4.  Whene'er  becalm'd  I  lie, 
And  storms  forbear  to  toss  ; 

Be  thou,  dear  Lord,  still  nigh, 

Lest  I  should  sufler  loss  ; 
For  more  the  treach'rous  calm  I  dread 
Than  tempests  bursting  o'er  my  head. 

5.  By  faith  I  see  the  land — 
The  port  of  endless  rest ; 

My  soul  thy  sails  expand, 

And  fly  to  Jesus'  breast  ; 
O  may  I  gain  the  heavenly  shore. 
Where  winds   and  waves  disturb   no 

more. 
6     Come  Holy  Ghost,  and  blow 

A  prosperous  gale  of  grace  ; 
Waft  me  from  all  below 

To  heaven  my  destm'd  place  ; 
There  in  full  sail,  my  port  I'll  find. 
And  leave  the  world  and  sin  behind. 
HYMN  79.  P.  M. 
Prayer  for  a  Revival. 
Saviour,  visit  thy  plantation, 

Grant  us  Lord  a  gracious  rain  : 


11 YM^    79.  Ill 

All  will  come  to  desolation, 
'     Unless  thou  visit  us  again  ; 
iKeep  no  longer  at  a  distance, 

Shine  upon  us  from  on  high  ; 
J^est  for  want  of  thine  assistance 

P^very  plant  should  droop  and  die. 

2.  Surely  once  thy  garden  flourished, 
Ev'ry  part  look'd  gay  and  green  ;• 

Then  thy  word  our  spirits  nourish' d, 
Happy  seasons  we  have  seen  ! 

But  a  drought  has  since  succeeded, 
And  a  sad  decline  we  see  ; 

Lord,  thy  help  is  greatly  needed, 
Help  can  only  come  from  thee. 

3.  Where  are  those  we  counted  leaders 
,  Fill'd  with  zeal,  andlove,  and  truth? 
Old  professors,  tall  as  cedars, 

;     }3right  examples  to  our  youth  ; 
Some  in  whom  we  once  delighted, 

We  shall  meet  no  more  below  ; 
Some,  alas,  we  fear  are  blighted. 

Scarce  a  single  leaf  they  show. 

4.  Younger  plants — the  sight  how* 

pleasant, 

Cover' d  thick  with  blossoms  stood  ; 
But  they  cause  us  grief  at  present, 

Frosts  have  nipp'd  tfiem  in  the  bud, 
Dearest  Saviour,  hasten  hither. 


112  HYMIS  89. 

Thou  canst  make  them  bloom  again^ 
O  permit  them  not  to>  wither, 

Let  not  all  our  hopes  be  vain. 
5.     Let  our  mutual  love  be  fervent. 

Make  us  prevalent  in  pray'rs  ; 
Let  each  one,  esteera'd  thy  servant, 

Shun  the  world's  bewitching  snares^ 
Break  the  tempter's  fatal  pow'r. 

Turn  the  stony  heart  to  flesh; 
And  begin  from  this  good  hour. 

To  revive  thy  work  afresh. 
HYMN  80.  P.  M. 
The  Beggar's  Prayer. 
Encourag'd  by  thy  word 

Of  promise  to  the  poor, 
Behold  a  beggar,  Lord, 

Waits  at  thy  mercy's  door  ; 
No  hand,  no  heart,  dear  Lord,  but  thine 
Can  help  or  pity  wants  like  mine. 

2.  The  beggar's  usual  plea, 
Relief  from  men  to  gain, 

If  offer' d  unto  thee, 

I  know  thou  would'st  disdain  ;  [ear. 
But  those  which  move  thy  gracious 
Are  such  as  men  would  scorn  to  hear. 

3.  I  have  no  right  to  say, 
That  though  I  now  am  poor. 

Yet  once  there  was  a  ^y, 


HYMN  80.  113 

When  I  possessed  more, 
Thou  knowest  from  my  very  biith 
I've  been  the  poorest  wretch  on  earth. 

4.  Nor  dare  I  to  profess, 
As  beggars  often  do, 

Though  great  is  my  distress, 

My  faults  have  been  but  few  ; 
If  thou  shouldst  leave  my  soul  to  starve, 
It  would  be  what  I  should  deserve. 

5.  Nor  dare  I  to  pretend 
I  never  begg'd  before. 

And  if  thou  now  befriend, 

I'll  trouble  thee  no  more  ; 
Thou  often  hast  releiv'd  my  pain,     * 
And  often  I  must  come  again. 

6.  Though  crumbs  are  much  too  good 
For  such  a  wretch  as  I, 

No  less  than  children's  food 
My  soul  can  satisfy  ; 

0  do  not  frown  and  bid  me  go, 

1  must  have  all  thou  can'st  bestow. 

7.  Nor  can  I  willing  be 
Thy  bounties  to  conceal 

From  others,  who  like  me 

Their  wants  and  hunger  feel; 
I'll  tell  them  of  thy  mercy's  store, 
And  try  to  send  a  thousand  more. 

8.  Thy  ways,  thou  only  wise. 


114  HYMN  81. 

Our  thoughts  and  ways  transcend, 
Far  as  the  arched  skies 

Ahove  this  earth  extend.  [hear, 

Such  pleas  as  ntine  men  would  not 
But  God  receives  a  heggar's  prayer. 
HYMN  81.    P.  M. 
The  Complainer. 
I  set  myself  against  the  Lord, 
Despised  his  spirit  and  his  word; 

And  wish'd  to  take  his  place  ; 
It  vext  me  S0,that  I  must  die, 
And  perish  too,  eternally, 

Or  else  be  sav'd  by  grace. 

2.  Of  every  preacher  I'd  complain  ; 
One  spoke  thro' pride  and  one  for  gain, 

Another's  learning  small  ; 
One  spoke  too  fast,  and  one  too  slow  ; 
One  pray'd  too  loud,  and  one  too  low, 

Another  had  no  call. 

3.  Some  walk  too  straight,  to  make  a 

show, 
While  others  far  too  crooked  go  ; 

And  both  of  these  I  scorn. 
Some  odd  fantastic  motions  make  ; 
Some  stoop  too  low,  some  stand  too 
straight, 
No  one  is  faultless  born. 

4.  With  no  professor  I  could  join  ; 


HYMN   82.  115 

Some  dress'd  to  mean,  and  some  too 

And  some  would  talk  too  long  ;  [fine. 
Some  had  a  tone,  some  had  no  gift, 
Some  talk'd  too  slow,  and  some  too 
And  all  of  them  were  wrong,  [swift; 

5  I  thought  they'd  better  keep  at  home 
Than  to  exhort  where'er  they  come, 

And  tell  us  of  their  joys: 
They'd  better  keep  their  gardens  free 
From  weeds  than  to  examine  me, 

And  vex  me  with  their  noise. 

6.  Kindred  and  neighbors  too  are  bad. 
And  no  true  friend  is  to  be  had; 

My  rulers  are  too  vile. 
At  length  kind  heaven  gave  me  to  see. 
The  fault  did  mostly  lie  in  me, 

And  had  done  all  the  while. 

7.  Now  I  can  hear  a  child  proclaim 
The  joyful  news,  and  praise  the  name 

Of  Jesus  Christ,  my  King  ; 
I  know  no  sect— the  saints  are  one — 
With  my  complaints  I  now  have  done, 

And  God's  free  grace  I  sing. 

HYMN  82.   P.  M. 

Throughout  the  Saviour's  Ufe  we  trace, 
Nothing  but  shame  and  deep  disgrace, 
No  period  else  was  seen, 


116  HYMN  82. 

Till  he  a  spotless  victim  fell, 
Tasting  in  soul  a  painful  hell, 
Caus'd  by  the  creature's  sin. 

2.     On  the  cold  ground  methinks  I  see 
My  Jesus  kneel  and  pray  for  me. 

For  I  his  I  him  adore  : 
Seiz'd  with  a  chilly  sweat  throughout, 
Blood-drops  did   force  their  passage  out 
Through  every  opening  pore. 
2.     A  crown  of  thorns  his  temples  bore. 
His  back  with  lashes  all  was  tore, 

This  he  endur'd  for  me  : 
Mocking  they  push'd  him  here  and  there. 
Marking  his  way  with  blood  and  tear  : 

Press'd  by  the  heavy  tree. 

4.  Thus  up  the  hill  he  painful  came, 
Round  him  they  mock'd  and  made  all 

At  length  his  cross  they  rear,    [game  : 
And  can  you  hear  the  ?on  of  God 
Cry  out  beneath  his  heavy  load, 

Without  one  thankful  tear  ? 

5.  Thus  veiled  in  humanity. 
He  dies  in  anguish  on  the  tree  : 

What  tongue  his  grief  can  tell  ? 
The  shudd'nng  rocks  their  heads  recline, 
The  morning  sun  refus'd  to  shine. 

When  the  Redeemer  fell. 

6.  Shout  brethren, shoutwith  songs  divine, 
He  drank  the  gall  to  give  us  wine 

To  quench  our  parching  thirst : 


HYMN  S3.      •  117 

Seraphs,  advance  your  voices  higher, 
Bride  of  the  Lamb  unite  the  choir 
And  laud  the  precious  Christ. 

HYMN  83.  P.    M. 

Destruction's  dangerous  road 
What  multitudes  pursue  / 
While  that  vi'hich  leads  the  soul  to  God 
Is  known  or  sought  by  few. 

2.  B^ievers  enter  in 

By  Christ  the  living  gate: 
But  they  who  will  not  leave  their  sin 
Complain  it  is  too  straight. 

3.  If  self  must  be  denied 

And  sin  forsaken  quite,  [wide, 

They'd  rather  choose  the  road  that's 
And  strive  to  think  it  right. 

4.  Encomnass'd  by  a  throng. 
On  numbers  they  depend, 

So  many  surely  can't  be  wrong. 
And  miss  a  happy  end. 

5.  But  numbers  are  no  mark 
That  men  will  right  be  found  ; 

For  few  were  sav'd  in  Noah's  ark 
And  many  millions  drown'd. 

6.  .  Obey  the  gospel  call, 
And  enter  while  you  may  ; 

The  flock  of  Christ  was  always  small, 
And  none  are  safe  butthey. 

7.  Lord,  open  sinmers'  eyes; 
Their  awful  state  to  see  ; 


118  HYMN  84. 

And  make  them,  e'er  the  storm  arise, 
To  thee  for  safety  flee. 

HYMN  84.    P.  M. 
Friends  parting. 
Our  souls  by  love  together  knit, 

Cemented,  mix't  in  one. 
One  hope,  one  heart,  one  mind,  one 

'Tis  heaven  on  earth  begun;  [voice. 
Our  hearts  have  burn'd  while  Jesus 

And  glow'd  with  sacred  fire;  [spoke. 
He  stop'd  and  talk'd,  and  fed,  and 
bless'd, 
And  fiU'd  th'  enlarg'd  desire. 

CHORUS. 

Jl  Saviour  let  creation  sing, 
*B.  Saviour  let  all  heaven  ring; 
He's  God  with  us,  loejeel  him  ours. 
His  fullness  in  our  souls  he  pours, 
'  Tis  almost  done,  His  almost  o'er, 
We're  joining  them  who're  gone  before 
We  soon  shall  meet  to  part  no  more. 

2.    We're  soldiers  fighting  for  our  God, 
Let  trembling  cov/ards  fly; 

We'll  stand  unshaken,  firm  and  fix'd 
With  Christ  to  live  and  die; 

Let  devils  rage  and  hell  assail, 
We'll  cut  our  passage  through. 


HYMN  89.  119 

Let  foes  unite  and  friends  all  fail, 
We'll  seize  the  crown  in  view, 
A  Saviour  let,  ^c. 

3.  The  little  cloud  increases  still. 
The  heavens  are  big  with  rain; 

We  haste  to  catch  the  teeming  show'r 
And  all  its  moisture  drain; 

A  rill,  a  stream,  a  torrent  flows, 
But  pour  the  mighty  flood; 

O  sweep  the  nations,  shake  the  earth, 
Till  all  proclaim  thee,  God, 
A  Saviour  let,  ^-c. 

4.  And  when  thou  mak'st  thy  jewels  up 
And  set'st  thy  starry  crown,  [shine, 

When  all  thy  sparkling*  gems  shall 
Proclaim' d  by  thee  thine  own; 

May  we,  a  little  band  of  love, 
We  sinners  sav'd  by  grace. 

From  glory  into  glory  chang'd, 
Behold  thee  face  to  face. 
A  Saviour  let,  ^^c.

Invitation. 

Wandering  pilgrims,  mourning  christians, 

Weak  and  tempted  lambs  of  Christ ; 
Who  endure  great  tribulation, 

Seeking  for  your  souls  a  rest — 
Christ  hath  sent  me  to  invite  you 


150  HYMN    85. 

To  a  rich  and  costly  feast ; 
Let  not  shame  nor  pride  prevent  you  ; 
Come,  the  rich  provision  taste. 

2.  If  you  have  a  heart  lamenting, 
And  bemoan  your  wretched  case, 

Come  to  Jesus  Christ  repenting. 
He  will  give  you  sweet  release. 

With  your  hearts  believing  on  him, 
Love  and  serve  him  all  your  days  ; 

Come,  O  come  to  Christ  and  ask  him, 
He  will  give  you  gospel  grace. 

3.  If  your  heart  is  unbelieving. 
Doubting  Jesus'  pardoning  love, 

Lay  hard  by  Bethesda  waiting. 
Til  the  troubled  waters  move  ; 

Though  no  mortal  arm  can  save  you. 
All  their  efforts  prove  but  talk, 

Jesus,  Jesus  saith  unto  you, 
Arise,  take  up  your  bed  and  walk. 

4.  If  you  will  but  claim  his  promise 
And  forsake  your  unbelief, 

Patient  waiting,  constant  praying, 
He  will  send  you  sweet  relief ; 

He  will  give  you  grace  and  glory. 
All  your  wants  shall  be  supplied  ; 

Canaan,  Canaan  lies  before  you, 
Rise  and  cross  the  swelling  tide. 

5.  Death  shall  not  impede  your  comfort, 
Christ  will  guide  us  thro'  the  gloom, 

Down  he'll  send  a  heavenly  consort 


HYMN  86.  121 

To  convey  our  spirits  home  ; 
Phere  with  him  we'll  reign  in  pleasure, 

Free  from  every  want  and  care  ; 
Come,  O  come,  my  blessed  Saviour, 

Fain  my  spirit  would  be  there. 
HYMN  86.  C.  M. 
[n  evil  long  I  took  delight, 
Unaw'd  by  shame  or  fear, 
rill  a  new  object  struck  my  sight, 

And  stopp'd  my  wild  career. 

2.  I  saw  one  hanging  on  a  tree. 
In  agonies  of  blood  ; 

He  fix'd  his  languid  eyes  on  me, 
As  near  his  cross  I  stood. 

3.  Sure  never  till  my  latest  breath, 
Shall  I  forget  that  look  ; 

Fie  seem'd  to  charge  me  with  his  death, 
Though  not  a  word  he  spoke. 

4.  My  conscience  felt  and  own'd  the  guilt, 
And  plung'd  me  in  despair  ; 

I  saw  my  sins  his  blood  had  spilt. 
And  help'd  to  nail  him  there. 

5.  Alas  !  I  knew  not  what  1  did. 
But  now  my  tears  are  vain  ; 

Where  shall  my  trembling  soul  be  hid, 
For  I  the  Lord  have  slain. 

6.  A  second  look  he  gave,  which  said, 
I  freely  all  forgive  ; 

This  blood  is  for  thy  ransom  paid  ; 
I  died  that  thou  may'st  live. 


122  HYMN    87. 

7*     With  pleasing  grief  and  mournful  joy, 

My  spirits  now  were  fill  d  ; 
That  I  should  such  a  life  destroy, 

Yet  live  by  him  I  kill'd. 

HYMN  87.  C.  M. 

The  glorious  day  is  drawing  nigh, 

When  Zion's  light  shall  come  ; 
She  shall  arise  and  shine  on  high, 

Bright  as  the  morning  sun. 
The  north  and  south  their  sons  resign. 

And  earth's  strong  pillars  bend  ; 
Adorn'd  as  a  bride,  Jerusalem, 

All  glorious  shall  descend. 

2.  The  King  that  bears  the  golden  crown, 
The  azure  flaming  bow  ; 

The  holy  city  shall  bring  down 

To  bless  his  saints  below. 
When  Zion's  bleeding  conqu'ring  King 

Shall  sin  and  death  destroy  ; 
The  morning  stars  together  sing. 

And  Zion  shout  for  joy. 

3.  The  holy  bright  musician  band 
Shall  tune  their  harps  of  gold. 

With  palms  of  vict'ry  they  shall  stand, 

Fair  Salem  to  behold  ! 
Descending  with  such  melting  strains,. 

Jehovah's  name  adore ; 
Such  notes  thro'  earth's  extensive  plains,. 

Were  never  heard  before  !

Ye  fiends  af  darkness  fly  ; 
Tho'  saints  are  feeble,  weak  and  poor,

A  covert  from  the  wind — 
A  shady  rock  of  boundless  grace,

As  angels  do  above  ! 

HYMN  88,  P.  M. 

The  old  Israelites  knew  what  it  was  they  must  do. 

If  fair  Canaan  they  would  possess, 
They  must  still  keep  in  sight  of  the  pillar  of  light. 

Which  led  on  to  the  promised  rest. 
2»  The  camps  on  the  road  could  not  be  their  abode, 

But  as  oft  as  the  trumpet  should  blow,  ■' 
They  all  glad  of  a  chance  of  a  further  advance, 

Must  then  take  up  their  baggage  and  go. 

3.  I  am  thankful  indeed  for  the  heavenly  head, 
Which  before  me  hath  hitherto  gone; 

For  that  pillar  of  love  which  doth  onward  still  move, 
And  doth  gatner  our  souls  into  one. 

4.  Now  thecross  bearing  throng  are  advancing  along>. 
And  a  closer  communion  doth  flow. 

Now  all  who  would  stand  on  the  promised  land, 
Let  them  take  up  their  crosses  and  go. 

5.  The  way  is  all  new,  as  it  opens  to  view, 
And  behind  is  a  foaming  red  sea; 


124  HYMN  88. 

So  none  now  need  to  speak cf  the  oniona  and  leeks, 
Or  talk  about  garlicks  to  me. 

6.  My  mind's  in  pursuit,  I  must  have  the  good  fruit, 
Which  on  Canaan's  rich  val!ies  doth  grow, 

Although  millions  of  foes  should  rise  up  and  oppose, 
1  will  take  up  my  crosses  and  go. 

7.  What  tho'  some  in  the  rear  preach  up  terror  &  fear, 
And  complain  of  the  trials  they  meet  ,• 

Though  the  giants  before  with  great  fury  do  roar, 
I'm  resolved  I  will  never  retreat. 

8.  We  are  little,  'tis  true,  and  our  numbers  are  few, 
And  the  sons  of  old  Anak  are  tall ; 

But  while  I  see  a  track  I  will  never  give  back, 
But  go  on  at  the  risk  of  my  all. 

9.  Though  while  scatter'd  around  in  this  wildernes« 
With  good  manna  awhile  we've  been  fed;  [grpund, 

This  will  not  always  do,  we  must  rise  and  go  thro'. 
Till  we  feed  on  the  heavenly  bread. 

lO.Now  the  morning  doth  dawn  for  the  camps  to  move 
And  the  priests  with  their  trumpets  do  blow,  [on, 

As  the  priests  give  the  sound,  and  the  trumpets  re-

But  so  Jong  as  I  am  able  to  move, 

With  the  resolute  few  I'm  resolv'd  to  go  through, 
Till  I  reach  the  fair  Canaan  above.

If  sav'd  from  guilt,  I  need  not  fear; 
Nor  would  the  thought  distressing  be, 
Perhaps  it  next  may  toll  for  me.

And  long  and  wish  to  hear  thy  voice; 
Glad  when  it  bids  me  earth  resign,

And  disregard  my  pray'r  ; 

Yet  still,  like  Esther  I  will  stay, 
And  perish  only  there.

Unless  we  do  reject  llietn, 

By  faith  and  I  uuible  prayer. 

3.  But  by  our  disobedience, 
With  sorrow  we  confess. 

We've  had  too  hnig  to  wander 

In  a  dark  wildernwss, 
Where  we  niijiht  soon  have  fainted 

In  that  enchanted  grtjund, 
But  now  and  then  a  cluster 

Of  pleasant  grapes  we  ftiund.

While  we  do  march  along  I 

Has  conscience  never  told  you 
That  you  are  going  wroKg, 

Down  the  broad  road  to  ruin. 
To  bear  an  endless  curse  ? 

Forsake  your  ways  of  sinning, 
And  come  along  with  us. 

7.  But  ifyou  will  refuse  us, 
We'll  bid  you  all  ftirewell  ; 

We  "'re  on  the  way  to  Canaan, 
And  you  the  way  to  hell; 

We're  sorry  for  to  leave  you. 
We'd  rather  you  would  go, 

Come,  t;y  a  bleeding  Saviour, 
And  feel  salvation  flow. 

8.  O  sinners,  be  awaken'd 
To  see  your  dis-?al  state, 

Repent  and  be  converted.

They  can  affright  no  more.  • 

On  wings  oflove  I  mount.  I  fly 
And  Father,  Abba  Father,  cry. 

4.  Death  too  has  lost  his  sling, 
And  wears  a  sniilms  face  ; 

I  hope  to  shout  and  siiiir, 

E'en  in  his  cold  emlirace; 
He'll  close  my  eyes,  and  shtit  my  ears, 
But  cannot  rou  e  my  guilty  fears. 

5.  When  through  the  fl  »ming  sky 
I  see  tne  Judge  descend, 

I'll  Abba  Father  cry, 

And  hail  him  as  my  friend. 
While  standing  in  the  gospel  light, 
There's  nothing  can  my  soul  affright. 

6.  Now  let  n^y  flowing  eyes 

•-    Run  down  withgratefiil  tears, 
Since  free  adopting  grace 

Has  banish' d  all  my  fears  ; 
And  still  rny  sinful  self  deny. 
When  I  express  the  heav'n  bom  cry. 

7.  No  more  let  me  reiurn 
Beneath  the  gallirg  yoke. 

Or  e'er  embrace  those  cliains, 

Which  gruce  divine  has  broke. 
Let  Abba  Father  be  my  cry, 
la  time  and  in  eternity..
